Written by Michael Peterson & Craig Wiseman



As a child I was told that I was destined to be nothing

Growing wild as I got older I fulfilled what had been said

Hiding ignorance and fear I prayed nobody saw me bluffing

But I was laying the foundation for a future I would dread

Yeah



Seems like every choice I made would somehow leave me second-guessing

'Bout the green grass I was passing racing toward the other side

I thank God for the blessing

That I finally learned this lesson:

One Step in the right direction's worth a wasted mile behind



Chorus:

Singin'

No more lookin' over my shoulder

No more hangin' on to the past

No more filling up my tomorrows

With yesterday's sorrows

No more lookin' over my shoulder



I could chill a room with reasons why I would not give forgiveness

To the people who had selfishly left me a wounded soul

I kept dragging 'round those memories

Like a ball and chain behind me

Wonderin' why my troubles followed me wherever I would go

Oh, but one night, sick and tired of being sick and tired

I realized forgiveness was the only open road

I swear I heard those shackles snap

The moment that I took that path

I never have one time looked back since the morning I arose



Chorus



I'm singin'

No more lookin' over my shoulder

No more hangin' on to the past

No more filling up my tomorrows

With yesterday's sorrows

No more, no more, no...



No more lookin' over my shoulder

No more hangin' on to the past

No more filling up my tomorrows

With yesterday's sorrows

No more lookin' over my shoulder
